Abstract (en)
Reception-channel switching of a broadcast television set (1) is effected via a unit (4) that interfaces the set (1) with remote distribution equipment (13) of a cable network. Viewing-channel selection is communicated from a hand-held control (2) to an infra-red receiver (7) of the unit (4). The selection made is processed by a microprocessor (9) and associated memory (8) to derive control signals that are transmitted from an LED (11) to the infra-red receiver (6) of the set (1), to switch the set (1) to the appropriate reception channel. If a cable channel is selected from the control (2), the microprocessor (9) also supplies command signals to a microprocessor (16) which controls a tuner (12) of the distribution equipment (13) to select the relevant channel signal. The selected signal is supplied to the set (1) via an input cable (5) to the unit (4), and this same cable (5) is used for transmission of the command signal from the unit (4) to the equipment (13). <IMAGE>
